Illuminated eyes
Children talking to me
I see
Familiar faces
Sitting around a table
I think
That it was the day
Of my third birthday
And everyone was there for the occasion
Innocent laughter
Where has the time
When I could still stay Mom, Dad
This is what I've learned from you, gone
A piece of paper
A little damaged
Just like my memories
Shreds of the past
Sewn back together
Make up my memories
Intertwined arms
Faces pressed closed against one another
I see
A shared moment
On the way out of a concert
And me
In the middle of us
Flooded with the love
You gave me every time
Gratefulness
And your presence
Remind me all that I owe you
That's what I've learned from you
A piece of paper
A little damaged
Just like my memories
Shreds of the past
Sewn back together
Make up my memories
Because time fails us
We end up forgetting
I'm afraid to forget
I find in my picture
A fraction of what I've been
What I've been
A piece of paper
A little damaged
Just like my memories
Shreds of the past
Sewn back together
Make up my memories
